Meeting New People!!
I thought I would reflect on this days events and in perticularly one younger women. I met her today while riding the bus to get some food that I needed and she told me that she is twenty nine years old and has lived in many places. I am amazed to hear her describe all the places including Italy and California etc. that she has lived and been too. She was most imformative about all aspects of the places she has been which was interesting to me since I never have been there. The more I talked to her it made me realize how much she had accomplished in her life and that my life has gone pretty much no where compared to hers and she is about half my age. It forced me to reaccess my own life while talking to her and learning from her alot of new things about what it is to be a traveling successfull person. I thought in my life that I have seen and done alot but then you meet someone new and listen to their life story then you realize all the things you have missed out on. It is hard to swallow that someone who is half your age has gone more places and done more fun and interesting things in life than you have done which really is awefull. My age is a further insult that I have not done all the interesting things that she has done including living in many interesting places which I have never even seen let alone ever have lived in nice places like her. Granted I may come across as being jealous but in truth I am not at all feelling that way but instead just realize how much of a small box my life has become unfortunately for me. So I just decided to write about it here as a way of venting my frustration at how life has become so stuck in a box and seemly not many ways of changing it these days. That is all I got to say for today but it is allways good to share things sometimes when your out of ideas and creative process which I find this year is all about.

Actor John Forsythe Died Yesterday!!!
I wanted to comment on John Forsythe Death today and include his obituary peice as I allways thought he would someday follow in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan and become President of The United States. He sure had the personality and caracter to do the job and when he was on the tv show Dallas he just made me more convinced he show go run for the Presidential Oval Office. He Would have made a great President and probabily would have also been reelected to a full second term in the White House. It is sad we will never know how great he could have been in the Oval Office since he has died now. Sometimes in life you meet a person and it just screams out a certian caracter that is right for public office and this man sure had the right stuff. Here is his obituary and this is my tribute to a real great man who should have been called and elected MR. PRESIDENT.
LOS ANGELES – John the handsome, smooth-voiced actor who made his fortune as the scheming oil tycoon in TV's "Dynasty" and the voice of the leader of "Charlie's Angels" has died after a yearlong battle with cancer. He was 92.
Forsythe died late Thursday at his home in Santa Ynez from complications of pneumonia, publicist Harlan Boll said Friday.
"He died as he lived his life, with dignity and grace," daughter Brooke Forsythe said.
Despite his distinguished work in theater and films, Forsythe's greatest fame came from his role as Blake Carrington in the 1981-89 primetime soap opera "Dynasty." Forsythe lent dignity to the tale of murder, deceit, adultery and high finance, which often brought Carrington into conflict with his flashy, vengeful former wife, Alexis Colby, played to the hilt by Joan Collins.
Forsythe was an important part of another hit series without being seen. From 1976 to 1981 he played the voice of Charlie, the boss who delivered assignments to his beautiful detectives via telephone in "Charlie's Angels."
Forsythe evidenced little of the ego drive that motivates many actors. He viewed himself with a self-effacing humor, considering himself "a vastly usable, not wildly talented actor."
In a 1981 interview by a reporter, he also said: "I figure there are a few actors like Marlon Brando, George C. Scott and Laurence Olivier who have been touched by the hand of God. I'm in the next bunch."
With his full head of silver hair, tanned face and soothing voice, Forsythe as Carrington attracted the ardor of millions of female television viewers. "It's rather amusing at my advanced age (mid-60s) to become a sex symbol," he cracked.
While he had small roles in a couple of films in the early 1940s, Forsythe's first successes were mainly on the stage. While serving during World War II, he was cast in Moss Hart's Air Force show "Winged Victory," along with many other future stars.
After the war, Forsythe became a founding member of the Actors Studio, recalling it as "a wildly stimulating place for a guy like me who was a babe in the woods. I never suspected there was that kind of artistry and psychological approach to acting."
Declining a return to Warner Bros., Forsythe began appearing in television plays as early as 1947, and he continued his Broadway career. A role in Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" led to the awesome task of replacing Henry Fonda in "Mister Roberts."
He was next able to create a role of his own, as the naive Army officer in occupied Okinawa in "Teahouse of the August Moon." The play was a huge success, winning the Pulitzer Prize. "It gave me a sense of worth as an actor," Forsythe remarked.
The call to Hollywood was irresistible, and Forsythe came west to star in such films as "The Captive City," "The Glass Web" and "Escape from Fort Bravo." His best break came in 1955 when he starred in Alfred Hitchcock's one attempt at whimsy, "The Trouble with Harry," about a corpse that kept turning up in a New England town.
But Forsythe's film roles were limited because he was already busy in television. The comedy "Bachelor Father," in which he played a Hollywood lawyer who cared for his teenage niece, lasted from 1957 to 1962, appearing successively on CBS, NBC and ABC.
His later films included "Madame X" (opposite Lana Turner) and "In Cold Blood," Hitchcock's spy thriller "Topaz," "The Happy Ending" and "Goodbye and Amen."
"And Justice for All" (1979) marked a departure for the actor. Director Norman Jewison cast him as a judge with a kinky sex life.
"He wanted to create suspense on whether the judge was guilty of such dark deeds," Forsythe said.
He credited the role for causing him to be considered as the unscrupulous Carrington in "Dynasty."
"The producers didn't know what the hell they wanted," Forsythe recalled. "They talked to me in terms of J.R. in 'Dallas.' I said, 'Look, fellas, I don't want to play J.R. Part of my strength as an actor comes from what I've learned all these years: when you play a villain, you try to get the light touches; when you play a hero, you try to get in some of the warts."
He was born John Lincoln Freund on Jan. 29, 1918, in Penn's Grove, N.J.
He won an athletic scholarship to the University of North Carolina, had a stint as public address announcer for the Brooklyn Dodgers, then launched his struggle to become an actor against the wishes of his father. Having had his name mispronounced all his life, he adopted the name of Forsythe, which came from his mother's family.
He toured the country in a children's theater troupe with his first wife, actress Parker McCormick, and began appearing in radio soap operas and Broadway plays.
His first marriage ended after the birth of a son, Dall. During the run of "Winged Victory," Forsythe married another actress, Julie Warren. They had two daughters, Page in 1950, Brooke in 1954.
When not acting, Forsythe maintained a strong interest in politics and sports, often playing in charity tennis tournaments. A devoted environmentalist, he also narrated a long-running outdoor series, "The World of Survival."
In lieu of flowers, Forsythe's family asked that donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
The family said there will be no public service.

Adding New Changes To Blog!!
I added new features this week so that I hope my blog is more interesting and user friendly. Thanks to my sponsor friends at Google for allowing this page to become more improved because they have added more options to blogger recently. I have added more advertizing and will continue to hopefully import more content into this blog page as I find out how to get it to function with this page. I still am not able to import my own videos and get them to work here and some page items keep flopping out of the page from time to time why I don't know. Guess I got to keep messing with the forms page and one day I will find out why I got some page errors. I also tried to add Amazon to this blog but for some reason it still won't work here on my this page. It is probabily some stupid check mark box I forgot to include in my adding Amazon to blogger page creation for this blog page. Oh, Well live and learn more every day and you hope you actually are able to solve all the page problems. Well, That is all for today folks and I will hopefully feel like writing more this week on this page.
